Olivet College women's soccer player and 2010 Ionia graduate Jenna Mayle will be capping off a successful junior season this week by representing the United States in Brazil.

Mayle, daughter of Cindy and Jason Mayle, will be playing with the USA Division 3 All-Star team for a 10-day tour of Brazil starting on May 20.

The team was selected by players recognized by their colleges and universities, and their respective conferences and regions.

"I never would have thought that I would get an opportunity like this," Mayle said. "It has been fun meeting my new teammates this week in Florida and practicing with them."

Mayle was selected because of the accolades she has received this season. She was named 2012 second team All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association last fall. She was also selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America to the Capital One Academic All-District VI team.

The tour of Brazil will run from May 20 to May 29. The team will play in the City of Jundiai and in the state of Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, against U-22 teams from the states of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Along with representing the United States on the pitch, the trip will also provide the group of All Stars with educational, social and cultural outreach opportunities within the communities they visit.

The players will also be able to visit schools and historical sites throughout Brazil.
